This case involved crab meat that contained filth.
On July 22, 1937, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of one barrel of crab 
meat at Lancaster, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about July 20, 1937, by V. S. Lankford & Co. from Hampton, Va., 
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted of a filthy animal 
substance.
On August 9, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered ordering that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
